Plvling Zones lvl 1-70 (BARD MACRO)+(PLVLING)

DoN drum is required lvl 70 so unless you want to get WAY less aa exp might just settle for the Muramite War Drum. It is what I use and making over 100 aa week at 65. My bard is just a twink also. One thing I did notice is that the named beludu once and awhile will shield the others and you will get summoned. Couldnt figure out why I died a few times and this is the conclusion I came to looking at logs. 2k Hp is definitely not possible here. When I get hit by spawns I go down to 50% sometimes low as 20% and my bard is a bit under 6k unbuffed.
 
Chances are you are getting whacked by the invisible hand. Log shows a hit for 5xx and 2xx then says something to the effect of (Mob name) thrusts it's sword through you, you have just been slain by an invisible hand. I have 4k hps and I die with a 700-800 hit or knocks me down to 5%.

Good call on Drum...didn't realize it required lvl 70.
 
no becasue when you die, you all your gear goes on your corpse, making it impossable to equip
 
PoValor Update for level 55s:
Started the macro at 55% with 0% exp at 10:30ish pm, played around with my AA%'s a bit (was at 30%), at 12:30ish i moved my AA % down to 10% and i had gained about 20% of my level, went to sleep and woke up at 7:30 or so looking at 92% of my level completed plus some AA Xp (cant give exact numbers on AA, becasue i cant remember hehe)

I have TDoK, 3k HP unbuffed, twisted Selo's and alll 5 DoT's i have available at level 55. If i had the level 55 resist song which i might go try to buy today, i might twist it instead of the level 30 DoT becasue its only like 50hp, but i dont know...might not matter anymore considering once i get a level or 2 i should be able to get my dots off better and keep them sticking

*edit* oh and i dont think i've even been hit once =)
 
now if i could just get a macro to auto assist my bard with my ranger and autofire at 30% :D
 
some more info on PoValor at level 55/56

i uploaded an attachment with dps and stuff on a typical mob, took basicly 8 minutes to kite down an undead vassal with TDoK and no AAs and 5 DoTs running

*edit* Kill times can range from 6 minutes to about 10 minutes depending on resists and whatnot, good thing this is AFK grinding ;)
 
More on PoValor:

Went to work for about 7 hours, dinged 56 right before i went. came home to about 36% or so, and no undead chasing me. It had been outta targets for a while i guess becasue i scrolled up and couldnt even see a DoT or anything combat wise in my combat window. So, i stopped the macro for a second to try to go get some undead, and BOOM

an Undead Vassal absorbs the power of its fallen victim.
You have been knocked unconscious!
You have been slain by an unseen hand!

I was at full HP, and no damage was even recorded in my chat box lol.

*edit* starting back up, grabbed every single undead this time just to make sure i dont run out tooooo quick :D

Even more info:

After i started my macro i died again becasue i forgot to turn nostun on, anyways when i got back to PoV a group asked me to join them, not very good XP so i only stayed till i was at like 56% and level 56, then went back to macroing. Went to sleep at 12ish with 56% woke up at 8 am with 30% and level 57

btw i run with 10% into AA, and it seems every other kill at levle 57 (yellow cons now) i get 2% normal XP

Warp succor before stopping, then exit and come back to get rid of it. It knocked me down to 5% once and I got away.
 
setting up an afk macro and going to work with out being able to telnet in or use vnc to moniter is asking to get banned

edit: in a non-instanced zone
 
oh darn, i hope my 2nd account i never even used till i got MQ doesnt get banned...that would suck...
 
Do you know how many people run straight through the woods in valor to get up to the golem camps?

Jeez, why not set up kite circle in plane of knowledge or something?

Please try not to bring attention to this method that I enjoy and stay out of sight as much as you can.

Out of sight = Out of mind.
 
"Please try not to bring attention to this method that I enjoy and stay out of sight as much as you can."


I've been doing it for a week now and no ones even sent me a tell. Plus, the undead camp I use (and the one posted here) is off to the left near the water, not up the middle. Anyone that doesnt just go right up the middle, runs along/in the waters edge because they are afraid to agro the undead, they arent going to try to "get as close as they can" to test their luck. And since I macro right in the middle of the camp, only way someone would even come across me, is if they too wanted to kill undead, which I've never even seen in PoValor until I started doing it. If you've ever taken the time to notice, PoValor only has 4 major camps now-a-days as server populations (at least mine) are pretty low. Outer/Inner, EW/WW. Half of those camps don't get close to me, the other half, getting to them, you do everything you can to not agro undead...
 
Again, AFK macroing in populated zones, especially in a spot where many people run right through, is not a good idea. I could care less if you get banned, but being blatant about it is just bringing unwanted attention to all of us.

Of course they know we are out there, but why hold up a sign advertising it?

Dont know what server you are on, but while heading to kill Aerin Dar with guild last week it was quite funny to see another bard running undead in circles in the woods. Of course I had know idea what he was doing...
 
AFK BARD Kiting while holding sign can be difficult, yet so simple. What slot does sign go in???

-----------------------------------
Ban Me!!
-----------------------------------
 
using anything macroquest related is risky, thats like saying using MQ isnt cheating but using active hacks are
 
You miss my point. Of course MQ is cheating. Thats why I suggest not doing it so blatantly.
 
Request:

Would it be possible for someone to post whatever lines of code it would take to make it so when I'm using mq2twist and get "You miss a note, brining your song to an end" that I automatically go back to the top of my twist and cast Selo's Accelerando? Too many times I've died from missing a note of selo's and then getting beaten by my train of mobs as I wait for selo's to be cast again.
 
once your 49 that is a non issue but before that i guess you could make it an event but that would recast selos on missed notes of dots too....

i just twisted like this:

/twist 8 1 2 8 3 4

Where 8 is Selos and 1,2,3,4 are dots....rarely had any problem with it and a few short days of doing that you'll have the 49 spell and then you can just use siddins mac that recasts selos basic apon this timer.
 
Thanks for the idea, Forsakenshadow! I didn't realize I could set it up to twist like that! I'm lvl 39 now, and I'm looking forward to getting SAC. Those backstaps from the poachers in JP HURT!
 
I got 40 in JP, but was getting killed far too frequenlty so I went out in search of a new place to kite. My boon has been in the Armory in Dulak's Harbor. It is relatively well concealed and I haven't run out of mobs at all. I've been kiting here for 30 hours non-stop and went from being 0% into 40 and I am now 5% into 46. I'm about to let my poor bard take a break so he can get all the spells he's missed over the past day. XP has slowed considerably, but maybe my kill speed will go up once I go pick up the two new chants I can use.

For those interested:

Circle Loc: 425, -501
Radius: 55
Twist: 1 2 3 4 1 (Selos, Flame, Fulfil's, Selos, Snare)

I would move to 3 or 4th boat given your lvl just run around the masts you can go to 51 and RS3 then move to nadox SE luggie room is nice and easy just pop invis and pracitce your circle to get between the graphic items and your set.
 
i recommend trying jp forest again start between water and the tent closest to water behind that tent and set up so you pass as close to fence as possible i've pled 4 toons there with my bard sac'd to 45 and he levels to 51 and then works on aa's so thats 45 to 51 4 times and 19 aa's
 
I have been try to dig through these and all i saw was multiple people asking for better place then Dulak at 52 ... if i looked over something will someone please help me ... its like 3 kills to 1% AA...no idea how many for reg exp... please help

I went straight to nadox at lvl 51 with run3 from jaggedpine. Worked pretty decent for me. As soon as you get 55 go do PoV unless you can your characters flagged early. Then HoH as soon as you are 62 and then vxed soon as you are 65. Started Vxed soon as I was 65 with like only 30ish aa now im 70 with over 400 (needed to hit 70 to be in a raiding guild, but I recommend stay 65 or at least 69 till you have all the aa you want). I died a bit at the beginning but was well worth the aa. Now I never die unless I get lag or go ld. I only have 6500 hp at lvl 70 so you dont have to be uber.
 
I've got my bard in HoH and he's made about 60 AA in there thus far. I'm averaging about 10-15 AA per day so far it seems.

I'm interested in knowing how much AA% you're getting in Vxed at 65 and where in there I'd go about kiting.

Currently in HoH I'm getting like 6'ish % per kill.

Thanks,

JadeOne
 
I took a friends bard and a cleric twink to vxed. and was there for the whole 6 hours tell it kicks you out. and i think that i got around 4-5 aa's on both chars. both chars are lvl 70 and the bard is in mostly tacvi-anguish armor. ( if that matter to bards /shrug ) gonna do another run maybe tonite and see exactly what i get. vxed is nice over hoh because the the chance of getting seen is impossable. only person taht would even be able to enter the zone would be a gm. and basiclly if they enter. your caught anyways. cause they have no reason to go into an instanced zone.
 
Well I pretty much just need Run3 to get to work Nadox andfar as you guys say im set on levleing straight upto 65 then AA and such... just im stuck at 53 with Run1 cant find any decent steady exp... ideas please... been trying armory in Dulak's.. Thanks for info so far

Liezard my opinion is get run3 in Dulak's or PoN(kill those wolf) or PoS(kill those frogs), then hit Nadox till lvl 62, then hit HoH and get only aa(per kill you get 2blue of aa), uber aa .:)

Riddlerr i did Vxed with my lvl 66 bard/255aa and got my behind wack...by summon mobs ..hit for 1000+ and quad around 600 to 900..even with nostun...evil place.
-Coerced Granite Worker, Venomous Stonemite <==summon
-Flinty Cragbeast, Hynid Ravage, Kyv Eyecollector, Mountain Pooka ,==nonsummon
-Ukun Deathfang <==Dont even try, get another mission.

Maybe with more HP might make it.

Ya, riddler said the bard he was using has tacvi/anguish armor. That's plenty for working in vxed.

I've worked with several diff bards in vxed and if you're doing beludu's you can safely say anything less than 4k hp will get you deaded on a flurry from misguided.
 
does anyone know if there is a loot macro for an alt in vxed - dont know much about the loot macs. I imagine it would incorporate some sort of warping to prevent being whacked. Thx

Yeah, a 66 bard should be able to do vxed np. think the best bet for vxed is to do the undead part that was listed. if never even used an afk bard macro before and the info posted worked great. only thing that i did differant than what was posted is that i used the clerics target da cause i accedently use the bard da and i was not sure on repop time of bards da. so i just used the clerics. other than that everything went great..

If anyone is actully willing to test. ( or even knows.) is the named that summons. is it on a timer from when you enter zone? kinda like the rest of vxed? it is a ph mob? and the pop on the mob is random? even with the macro that auto targets everything but the stonemites and the named. i still managed to get the named to 98% and it summoned me 2x's but this bard has about 12k with just conviction. so it was able to take a few summons/stuns and let heal song heal it self long enough to the point that the named regened enough to no summon anymore. i belive it took the bard to about 35% hp. which is still around 4khp. so i could really see a normal equiped bard being killed by eventully by the 3 ticks the song does if the song just happends to land once, before the macro realizes its the named and changes. its just a case of bad luck..

ive looked over the macro to see if it could be changed to make the event of clearing the target if its the named or a stonemite. and i think its about as good as you can get. about the only thing that i can think of. is if you were to put into the macro that once you get to a set % hp that you succor to zone in... if you wanted to get even more advanced, as i saw posted somewhere ( i might look into making a macro for this ) is to succor like i stated before. and once you get up to a set %hp again. play da song warp back up there. circle and autorun. and start to twist. i dont belive something like this would really be to hard to write. atm iam currently leveling my own bard to that i dont have to use a friends. incase something happends i do not want to risk getting a friends twink suspended/banned over something he had nothing to do with. once i get my bard to 65. ill be working alot more with this and ill post what i would use.
 
Just a quick question about /twist command for some reason it wont twist it says the song is not loaded suspending twist, but the songs are loaded.... im lost any assistance would be more then greatly appreciated
 
All the information you guys are asking is already in this post, just alittle further up. But, I will help you out and make it alittle easier. You guys need to do your circle in Vxed in the correct spot to get the best out of it. I quoted Racecar here for your vxed macro and warp spot. The only thing different is I use a radius of 70. I will post the macro in the next post.



Racecar said:
Here is the details for my Vxed macro:
My Vxed starting loc is 125, -300, 447
The circle radius is 73
Facing East

So basically I have 4 hotkeys:
1. /warp loc 125,-300,447
2. /circle on 73
3. /macro vxed
4. /circle off

Make sure you are heading DEAD east. Even a degree or two can make a big difference. My macro just barely reaches the torches in the ghost room, this gives me more wiggle room and you never get a stonemite. Also, be sure to type /twist adjust 3. You only have to do it once, it will remember the setting. What this does is force selos to refresh 18 seconds early. This prevents the selos landing just as it fades bug.

It is also an excellent idea to have Run5. The nostun offset is also required (remember you have to re-set this offset every time you log in).

So here is the rundown of what I do. I face dead east, make sure selos is up, cast Kazuimi's (Divine Aura), press 1 (warps to loc), press 2 (starts the circle), press numlock (starts running the circle), press 3 (starts the targeting macro) then type /twist 1 2 3 4 5 6.

It should be noted that my first spell gem is selos followed by 4 dots and Marr. You will need the same setup, or you will have to change my macro.

As to what the macro does. All it is, is a slightly modified target.mac (you can even call it that if you want) that stops twisting when you get exp then starts up again when you aquire a valid (non summoning) target. This is to prevent your dot landing just as you are about to switch and getting summoned.

Here is racecar's macro to use, with this I never get summoned by the named. He is a random spawn when you kill the ph where you do your circle if you use the loc I posted above (wich you should). The stonemite is a little tricky. I rarely get one but maybe 1 out 6 instances I do get one. Sometimes the stonemite is A venomous stonemite and sometimes it is a venomous stonemite so you can add the code in for that. Other then that this macro is perfect. I got to vxed at lvl 65 with 35 aa and only like 5k hp now i have over 400 aa at lvl 70. At level 70 you get alittle more then 1 aa per hour. For best results stay 65 till you have all your aa up to GoD then get 69 and get the rest. If you ding 70 you will see a drastic difference in aa exp. But some have no choice if you are in a raid guild.

Which compile are you using? MQ2 devs have added alot of code in their latest few releases that mess with alot of the plugins. If you want a compile that works use Soultaker's compile that is in these forums.
 
Kait thank you, 5 star for the great guide you just post and your modify Macro.
